The Italian Ambassador in Berlin, Michele Valensise, hosted the signing ceremony of a cooperation agreement between the Italian National Research Council (CNR) and the IASS in the presence of the Italian Minister of Education, University and Research Prof. Francesco Profumo, who was visiting the German capital.
The agreement, whose idea was conceived on the sidelines of the meeting of the leading Italian scientists in the world held recently by the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs and co-chaired by Minister Profumo in Rome, was finalized in a very short time and signed by the Vice President of CNR Prof. Maria Cristina Messa and by the three Directors of IASS.
